How can we seal our grout !?
@@safaesaufie3852you can buy it at Lowe’s or home depot
I have no idea why is anyone still looking for cleaning advice from anyone else but you. Seriously, it's a waste of time and often lots of money too. Instead, I have vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, lemons, Castile soap or Marseille soap, basic dish soap, cleaning sand and essential oils, laundry detergent and unscented softener (for dog beds purely because they get all static electricity of the entire village!) instead of heaps of cleaning products and I save looooots of money on cleaning. Melissa rules, simple as that.
lol I watch Melissa but I also watch aurikatariina. But I like watching really bad messes turning into beautiful.
I also have washing soda because my sister buys it in bulk, and it works pretty well
@@b.c.9358 exactly! We love it. We cloth diaper our daughter and it handles even that REALLY well.
"This is a toilet, not a cocktail"... "I need a cocktail" love the humor 😂😂
I don't do tik tok. I don't watch any other cleaning suggestions. Even with going off the rails a bit, my house is cleaner than it's ever been...BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEOS AND BOOK. 💜💜💜
💜💜💜
Same!
I don’t do Tik Tok, either. I’m not the demographic it’s aimed at. I’d much rather watch Melissa and get actual, tried and true cleaning methods, instead of cutesy, gimmicky ideas.
Same lol at this point my go to is her if I have questions
These are amazing. I'd love for you to make more. My mom generally used 1 product per task. She also taught me about vinegar and its deodorizing benefits. I'm blown away by all these people using bleach and ammonia/other chemicals together. It's scary and I hope some of the wrong information can be corrected so people don't get hurt/poisoned.
This is so funny. I’ve never seen her go this much out of character
As someone who has been in school where a part of it requires training in dyeing, we were told that citric acid (e.g. the thing IN LEMON) could be used to seal in colouring or bleach clothes depending on how it is used. I.e. not something you just want to throw on your clothing unless you actually know what you're doing. Along with the tips mentioned in the video, the best course of action is if you notice the stain right away, rinse it out with lukewarm water and dab it out with a paper towel (do not rub as this will cause the stain to go deeper into the fibre). Then if possible, keep the area damp till you can throw it into the washer. This will prevent the stain from grabbing onto the fabric. Do not tumble dry anything with a stain or you set the stain in.
I stopped buying most cleaning products when I started watching you and I thank you. I do still purchase enzyme cleaner (two dogs), but I handle everything else with Dawn, BKF, baking soda, vinegar and Borax. Er, not all at once 🙃I have relieved my local landfill of SOOOOO many plastic spray bottles by sticking to the above items, and my home is as clean as when I used store bought cleaners.
I find listening to one channel (yours) for cleaning saves time. Over time you go over all the tips a person needs and from a pro. Thanks
Gotta say,I'm loving these types of videos 😂hubby and I watch these and LAUGH so much keep em coming!
Sometimes I think let those chlorine fumes do their bit for natural selection
lol
I love when you comment on these videos. I try to tell my friends to stop putting tons of product in their toilet and mop water and they don't listen
Best use for the stampy things: boys! Seriously, give them anything to aim at and they'll do it no matter how old they are! 😆 Plus it does the job of telling my kids when to scrub the toilet once it disappears!
Bar keepers friend is amazing!!! ❤❤❤
Great content! Pls keep doing more of these to inform people more 👏🏼👏🏼
No baking soda down ANY drain. Plumbers will tell you it can resolidify and cause clogs!
First time here love this, thanks so much!
Thanks for watching!!!
I used to clean my pub toilets just after closing. Industrial pine disinfectant measured carefully into buckets of boiling water. I'd pour liberally over and in each toilet, sink and on the flooring then leave overnight with the extraction fan running. In the morning our cleaners could just rinse everything and spot clean. In 10 minutes we had spotlessly clean fresh restrooms and no smell of anything wafting out into the public areas other than a faint smell of pine.
Denture tablets are great for vases that have narrow necks and you can’t really get to all the places. Especially if you have hard water.
Video #5. In my defense, I absolutely use the stampy things. I have teenage boys. I also have bleach tabs in the toilet bowl. Both necessary unless the toilet is scrubbed daily. 🤣
Those bleach tabs are destroying the rubber parts in your toilet tank.
@@katphish30 Luckily the replacement parts are easy to change and inexpensive.
I really like the stampy things, too! They smell nice and they're kind of pretty. It does get in the way of scrubbing a tiny bit, which I only do once or twice a week, so maybe her theory tracks lol. (she says that the toilet stamps are for people who don't clean their toilets as often as maybe they should, but she says it in a very nonjudgmental way- I just wanted to add context so you don't have to hunt it down, as it's been a month since you wrote this)
Urine contains ammonia. Bleach and ammonia should not be mixed. Please don't clean the bathroom with bleach.
So glad i found your channel. Ive needed some good cleaning tips. 😊
I have to say, I love this judgemental Melissa! XD
First… LOVE LOVE your channel; bought your book (audible version) and am taking advantage of all your homemade cleaning hacks- they rock! To let you know denture tabs aren’t only for grandparents 😊 I use them to clean my night time bite plate! Best cleaning product on a difficult to clean mouth piece!😁
Audible book??? 😮😮
Love this video! You are so funny!
I rely on you! Keep up the great work!
I agree. There is no reason to use 5 things on a laundry stain!
1. I use straight dish soap and agitate with a very soft toothbrush, before placing in the hamper. I am able to remove 99% of stains!
2. Peroxide is my best friend when it comes to laundry! I add a bottle to my whites, and got rid of the bleach. No more yellowing over time. I also use in my lights as a brightener. I love it!
I usually use dawn, but if I really can't get something or it's just a really major stain, I'm naughty and just use my arm and hammer carpet spot spray stuff they make for pet messes, definitely not for delicates but hot damn does it work wonders on tougher working clothes, cuts stains my laundry sprays like Shout never seem to get all the way out.
Melissa your awesome thank you for all of your cleaning tips and tricks natural is so much better 👍👍👍👍👍♥️
Thanks for watching!!
I cleaned around the toilet with shaving cream. Took forever to get that stuff up. 😂😂 Pinterest got me! That was a good one. 😂😂
Lol I made that mistake a few years ago too. Friends were saying how amazing it was. I wasted so much time wiping up shaving cream. Never making that mistake again
I was stupid enough to try this on my bathroom mirror... Huge fail! First of all, the shaving cream was quite expencive, secondly it didn't actually clean the mirror all too well and finally it took forever to wipe it off. I was on my last nerve when I was done and didn't want to even see a bottle of shaving cream ever again.😂😂 Ok, perhaps it helped a little with the mirror fogging after the shower, but that has never bothered me much anyway. I usually go to shower in the morning and eat breakfast afterwards. By the time I go back to the bathroom, the mirror is clear again. 🤷♀️
@@tuikkur.5655I just wash my mirror with dish soap. Surprised the crap out of me it was less streaky than windex. (I've heard WD40 as a lifehack to fogproofing your mirror but I've never tried that one) But if you ever are looking to make a mirror fog resistant, I picked up this coating stuff, it's like Lifeproof ceramic coating or something, barely any fog anymore, also really easy to clean now because it removes a lot of friction from the surface so you can just wipe whatever grossness off with whatever towel you got near you and it rarely leaves any marks. Hate saying it's like magic cause that sounds so BS but it's a lifesaver if you got smudgy surfaces or if you just wanna save your arm some energy on scrubbing
This just made me laugh! The things people will do to get ratings! Thank you CMS for keeping it real and… Real simple! Have followed you for years. So proud that you help us do life simply.
Thank you for doing this! On top of product waste, these drive me nuts because I have a septic tank so I have to choose cleaning products carefully.
😂. Great sweater. Happy Thanksgiving. ❤
Thanks 😄Happy Thanksgiving to you!!
Melissa will now be getting requests to create a cleaning ASMR channel. 😂
This feels like watching a disappointed school teacher go over everyones final 😂 I love it
In this one with the 3 toilets I feel like you should bring back the “clean your toilet on 3 minutes” video
I ❤these videos!!
People desperate to push out mindless content on TikTok don't really care if you kill off the environment and destroy your surroundings in order to get clicks. It's pathetic. Your videos are common sense relief. New subscriber. Thank you.
Yay! Love these myth busting videos!
I only watch your vids for great cleaning advice as they're structured, practical & fun.
Melissa I literally I have to watch ur videos to go to sleep 🤣🤣🤣 your very loved here in my house hold ❤️❤️
Thank you i grew up with a mom that was an addict an she was sick a lot so i really didnt have someone there to teach me how to clean stuff right so your vid helps
10:35 my personal favorite! Melissa it's hilarious😆💖
“Unless an elephant was taking a dump in there…” 😂😂😂😂
Save the denture tabs for cleaning coffee and tea stains from ceramic mugs, travel mugs and cups. Great for soaking travel mug lids also ….
Great video
I only go on yur stuff I don't trust any body else but u cause I've learnt alot of u thank u x
I died at the elephant part 😂😂 omg and the ice 😂😂😂😂
I love your sweater 😂
Dj TS always hit's me with that brown note.
Sinks: mine is stainless steel. I use a dish wand unless I have a big bunch of dirty dishes. Once the dishes are clean, I just use the dish wand and quickly go over the sink. Takes about a minute. Quick rinse and that's it. No grit to rinse off, and the sink stays clean.
Just a small sidenote as you said it could only be vinegar making the baking soda foam - it could be boiling water. I make pretzel bites often and one of the steps is pouring boiling water on some baking soda - it fizzes up like crazy. Surprised me the first time. It's good to know about vinegar and baking soda, I just got hung up on that detail lol.
The sink overload video is just ASMR lmao
Any suggestions how to clean and give that shine back to wood floors, mine look dull especially how we have a pellet stove. Cant seem to keep my floor looking good and I hate that. Help!

Tik Tok is where your brain goes to die.
What were the 2 products you mentioned for stain removal on clothes? Couldn't make out what they were.
"This is a toilet and not a cocktail." 😆😂🤣
I've tried the downy rinse and refresh. Didn't do good at all. I've found doing half a cap of fabric softener and filling the washer fabric softener area the rest of the way with 5% cleaning vinegar. That's works great.
Non cleaning comment. Love, love, love your sweater. Blue is my favorite color. Looks fab on you.
I have glass coffee table/end tables that I have to be constantly dusting, any suggestions to keep dust free for a day or two at least? I do use microfiber cloths.
Maria L.
The only way to keep glass tables clean is to get a different kind of table.
@@katphish30 I'm beginning to think the same thing 🤔 I absolutely hate to see dust but it's inevitable right 🤷♀️
Thank you Melissa....plz how can I clean my wooden floors..parquet......
I’m probably going to be in the firing line for this but my other neurodivergent friends may understand why I’m asking….is it ever possible to use a cleaning product meant for use with glass on a surface just to remove dirt? I often bring out bottles of cleaning products I think I need and then find I’ve missed on grabbing the all purpose cleaner due to brain fog. Does another product cover for cleaning? Which ones do NOT work for different surfaces? I.e I assume glass cleaner should never be used on wood. Or would it all just cause damage if not used on the right surface? Cleaning is such a big energy spend I want to be able to take even shorter shortcuts if needed 😅
A while back I simplified my cleaning products. I started using a mix of dish detergent, rubbing alcohol and water. Yes, that the Dawn spray & wash formula but I found that it makes a great general cleaner. I use it all over my bathroom and kitchen. Then use windex for mirrors & to polish if needed. That way I only have like three cleaners. Simplifying helps with neurodivergence and also saves money too.
i totally get why you’re asking! long winded answer ahead. i’d say it’s all about knowing your products, as in what ingredients they use to clean, and the surface that you’re dealing with. sometimes using a product specifically for thing X on thing Y may be inefficient or won’t give you the results you’re looking for, or might not clean the surface as well, and other times it might actually damage it. For example, if I spray and wipe an all purpose water+dish soap mix on my quartz counters, it likely won’t damage them, but it does leave a sticky soapy film. so instead i use water + rubbing alcohol + very little dish soap for my counters because it wipes away clean and shiny without that film. i use it on some other surfaces too, but i know it leaves my mirrors streaky so i use a dedicated glass cleaner instead, but i wouldn’t use it on wood in case the rubbing alcohol ruins the finish. products with hydrogen peroxide work great on some surfaces but can discolor others, and some abrasive products may work great on some surfaces but could scratch other ones.
i also deal with brain fog a lot and i honestly found that switching to gentle homemade cleaning recipes helped a lot, because in most cases, i know that even if i use one product for everything it probably won’t do much damage, and to mitigate that risk even more, i make sure that my “all purpose” mix doesn’t have anything strong in it, but is effective enough that if I were brain foggy, i can use it on my stovetop or in my bathroom with no problems.
Short winded answer ahead. Most glass cleaners work just fine for basic surface cleaning, just don't use them on wood. If something is too greasy for glass cleaner, you can use a little dish soap.
Thanks so so much everyone, not only have I got some great tips but it’s validating to know other people know exactly what the struggles are!
I wonder what the impact is on our sewer systems and water treatment plants from these people that do this “overload” type of cleaning.
Tip- if you have unsanded grout it’s much easier to keep clean, sanded grout seems to hold dirty spots
“Oh god this guy”
I use car wax on my windows, mirrors and sometimes my countertops. It’s super easy to apply and easier to wipe off. There are no streaks and you only need a little bit of wax.
What a quantity of cleaning products they can put in a pretty clean toilet bowl! I use that much in a year!
The pink stuff was used in the one toilet with the stampy one. That stuff rocks!
I had no idea that baking soda and vinegar made water. Makes sense, but it shows that I obviously didn’t pay any attention in science class. 😂
Do you deliver your products to the UK. Just love your channel. Thank you.
What works best for hard water stains? Is there anything that works better than vinegar?
Given your critique with the shaving cream, what are your thoughts as to using shaving cream on a bathroom mirror to eliminate it from fogging up after showering?
I use a paste of laundry stain remover and powder laundry soap for really bad stains and it usually works.
My toilet needs help: I have a deep stain at the bottom of my toilet that won't come out. What do you suggest? I have a good supply of baking soda, borax and laundry soda, but will buy other items you recommend.
Thanks for your videos.
Pumice stone! Wet it first and you are good to go! Works really well in the oven as well ( obviously use two different sticks 😅)
If you're able to keep people from using it for a few hours, just put in some standard acid based toilet cleaner and let it sit overnight or during a work/school day. Brush, flush, repeat if necessary. It might take a few tries for a thick deposit, but it will work.
I am not a person who uses Tik Tok or Facebook or Twitter. If I am looking for specific content I browse different sites and use common sense before I trust them. If I need cleaning advice I always check out your website first and have always gotten the best results from you. The amount of products and money and water being wasted freaks me out. I have no idea what the ice thing is about (?) If water is run for 5 minutes straight it uses about 15 gallons of water. Like you said waaayyy too much product leads to even more water wasting. I think the toothpaste and shaving cream videos are some of the most strange things I’ve seen. And of course I go back to a previous video with Comet being used on a tiled floor. Lots and lots of Comet and scrubbing. It made me tired to watch it because of how long it takes to remove any cleaner that can leave a little residue, like Comet. Anyway, I really enjoyed watching another video about crazy hacks. Thanks😊
The only thing I've ever seen ice used to clean is coffee pots. it's a food industry secret to clean your carafes without soap to prevent an off taste.
You put a good amount of ice cubes into a (cool) coffee pot with a decent amount of salt and swirl.
It took me a while to find a toilet bowl cleaner that didn't have bleach in it! Now live on a septic system so bleach at a minimum as I'm told it's bad for the good organisms. I hadn't thought to use barkeepers friend, as I do now have some of that. Works amazing for the grill. XD
Also pretty sure people still use vinegar and baking soda because they think the suds and bubbles help with cleaning instead of it just being a chemical reaction that is neutralizing both products.
I often struggle to find products that don't have bleach in them so any tips for sanitization purposes are totally welcome from anyone who reads this.
I love bac-out for my pets. But I need something to put in my carpet cleaner if possible. I found 2 spots my cat has decided to go potty. I've been cleaning and spoting, but I just need to clean my carpet. Dog also brought in questionable poop possibility from outside. Again, I cleaned, but I just need to clean the carpet. I would like to have something to just use in the carpet cleaner if possible and get all the carpet. Any suggestions?
I'm so much more likely to make 1 of your DIY cleaners and add tea tree oil for anti microbial purposes, than to do any of these 'hacks'. Seems like the creators themselves are hacks, in the conman/ snake oil context.
How do you get the black stuff under the rim off? Toilet. I think is from hard water.
I don’t have tik tok; and even if I do, I can’t waste time watching these “helpful” cleaning videos. I use Melissa’s cleaning tips for years, which have worked out every time.
Actually vinegar + baking soda doesn't just = water. Can't speak to the stain lifting properties, but if I recall correctly from the volcano experiments in grade school, it's water, sodium acetate, and carbon dioxide gas from the reaction of baking soda and vinegar.
I add borax to my laundry and it always smells so fresh even with fragrance free detergant.
Why is tiktok so crazy!!!I It would never ever occur to me to put ice cubes in the toilet bowl.just mental!!
Does Comet disinfect??
I live in an apartment complex for older adults. A housekeeper put SOMETHING foamy in the toilet and it came up in several other toilets on the floor! Yuck!
I have an unrelated question.
Is there a practical reason for your stove sitting below the countertop level.
Thank you for your vids.
I will argue with you over the baking soda and vinegar mixture. That has worked a lot to get stains out for me. There are some stains that it cleans up better than others. You put it on the object you are cleaning immediately. Once the bubbles are gone, then it is just "glorified water." This mixture used right away has cleaned stains out of my carpet and clothes. On the carpet you let it dry and vacuum it up. Clothes you throw it in the washer.
I do agree to not use it for everything and that there are better things to use. Adding the lemon is just excessive. Still love your videos and habe learned a lot, especially that after the bubbles disappear with the mixture of baking soda and vinegar, it is just "glorified water."
Again, thank you so much for your content!
I’ve heard Dawn dish soap neutralizes vinegar so then using both together for cleaning makes sense???? Am I wrong?
Your logic is sound but somehow it still works for me
FYI the gel flower stampy things just smell nice. I have a cleaner so my toilets are all lovely and clean, but the stamps thing keeps the bathroom smelling like she had just been between her cleaning days. Love them. Total waste, I agree, but love them.
Thanks for the tip!
I have hard water buildup in my toilet. Do you have any advice on how I can get ride of the ring in the toilet?
Zep acidic toilet bowl cleaner can be bought at places like Lowe’s it’s not an everyday cleaner drain most of water from the toilet if very bad pour in and don’t forget under the rim where the water flushes out as build up happens there too. You let it sit then turn back on water to toilet it should pretty much just wipe off. I have extremely hard water and have tried everything this was the only thing I ever found that truly gets rid of bad hard water stains.
those toilet cleaning videos with the billion different products aren't cleaning hacks they're legitimately just fetish videos
I have a clean bathroom and I love using toilet stamps. They put the little extra in it
I've seen people use toilet cleaner on their grout. I can't help but wonder if that's too harsh of a cleaner on the grout. And probably ruins any sealer that is on it.
It is and it does. Toilet cleaner is too strong an acid for anything but toilets.
@@katphish30I've used it limitedly to help when I was cleaning just a nightmare case of limescale crust and all my other acids just weren't doing shit, but yeah, definitely not something to get thrown around all willy nilly
Unless your toilet is the toilet from Trainspotting....you don't need that much product😂
It is the drama that gets me. We are talking about cleaning get to the cleaning. I cleaned for a living, too clean a toilet buy a container of iron out you need in the beginning I would say I tsp if it is stained let it set for hour if its bad after its cleaned stain free you just need to use dish soap. Laundry done in cold water won't set the stain, if you want to whiten up clothes I buy rubbing alcohol at dollar store add about a quarter of a cup along with your soap you will see the difference. I never use the amount of soap it tells you to on the containers it is to much you will get a build up of soap in your clothes. I buy cheap hair spray spray it on a stain when the article is dry let it set until you do your laundry. I know for a fact these things work save you money because they last for some time. I don't believe in wasting money. I always buy my dish detergent in the large jugs pour in smaller container to save money, it is all about saving money as everything has go up .
Love your channel ❤and book i have a hard copy and a google copy on my phone so if i go clean someones house i dont have to carry the hard copy 😊
Ok what’s with the ice in toilets?😂but noooo I like the stampy things☹️they keep it smelling fresh til next cleaning day😊
What are your thoughts on laundry detergent sheets?
They put microplastics into the water supply.
@@goatgirl5968 The eco detergent sheets? Nah. Maybe you're thinking of dryer sheets.
@@jessj2530 No, the little laundry detergent sheets do have microplastics. Sorry to say this because I really liked them.
I heard of a no no and it was using toothpaste and baking soda was a good hack so I I wasn’t sure if should believe that or not fabulous video
What were the stain removers?
what especially annoys me is that when you comment things in these videos like you’re using too much product, you’re gonna have all the trolls coming at you saying she can use what she wants it’s her sink!
Lemon juice would work if he used just that and set it out in the hot sun. I use lemon or citron to remove stains from my son's cloth diapers. But this trick is affordable if you know someone who grows the citrus trees or grow them yourself.
